Loughborough Firmers 2013

Lol yeah I also noticed that, the DVD kinda sucked for me lol, like the navigation was really tricky and buggy? I was hoping they were finally gonna show us what the refurbished Falk-Egg looks like .

Heyyy! No you're the first person! I'm so excited! I still haven't sorted out accommodation yet though :'( which hall are you staying in?

Right I'm sure I'm being a bit thick here but just need some help. I've paid my room bond and my arrival slot. I'm in David collet. But I don't know what room I'm in or if I've got a room :/ can't find any way to check either. All it says is area west on my form. Some help please

Quick question - the 4' beds (I believe that they're identical in Elvyn, Bakwell and Rigg-Rut?) - are they 'solid' all the way around the base - or can items be slid under them at the side? Thinking of packing/bringing stuff in several 'Underbed storage' trays - but only makes sense if beds suit that mode...Cheers.

M.A

Whey! It's gonna be awesome with the new building! Oh right, I'm guessing though they will email soon with the arrival slot thing though right?
I know same :/ What are you studying?

Sorry only just seen this, and I know I'm really glad I picked Telford! Have you booked your arrival slot yet? I did mine on Monday picked 11-12 :-) and I'm studying psychology, what are you studying?

What are people doing about fancy dress for freshers?! On Bakewell's FAQ page there's a question asking where we can get it and the response was "We've teamed up with an external company and offer a bundle package which you can pick up on arrival day" or something like that! I don't know if it's the same for other halls but I'm guessing so? So is that what people are doing or are they taking their own stuff? I don't know what's included in the bundle package?! And do we pay more for it?!

Haha don't worry about it! Getting excited now, have you started packing stuff yet?
Yeah I picked 14:00-15:00 because I live about 4 hours away haha, and I can't believe we only have an hour to unpack I have so much stuff
Ooh I would've liked to do psychology I'm not smart enough though haha, I'm doing English

Anyone know how you can access your student email? Which website do you actually log onto?

I also want to know this! I asked my facebook page for my halls (Telford) they said they'd email us with the themes.. but still not heard anything. I know nothing about a bundle thing though!

my.lboro.ac.uk then it's your username and password that you got when you did the online registration then you'll see a box that's your email when you've logged onto the page :-)

not really I have everything in bags but I'm packing properly the week we go still need to get a few things and I know I was going to use boxes to pack but opting for suitcases instead for the majority so I can take them to my room easier. I just saw your question to someone else about Telford fancy dress themes I don't know if you've seen it but there's a timetable on the telford facebook page that tells you what we'll be doing each night and what the fancy dress will be if that's what you're looking for

Yeah all halls get bundles and at least two shirts, one with a recurring hall theme and one with a tick box list of freshers achievements although said tickbox varies a little between halls. Any other themes tend to be really easy/ standard, like animals, geek etc. Many halls have their own site with a little calendar of freshers week and the themes.

Haha don't worry about it! Getting excited now, have you started packing stuff yet?
Yeah I picked 14:00-15:00 because I live about 4 hours away haha, and I can't believe we only have an hour to unpack I have so much stuff

Brilliant, thankyou! Guessing you're not a first year student?

Actually they don't care that much once you've arrived, the booking in time slots is just to make sure everyone's arrival is staggered. I got there an hour late and they just didn't care at all


Oh, fair enough then.


Well it's a bit confused because it's my first year of a degree this year but I was at Loughborough last year for a foundation year. So I'm like a returning fresher? I see it as being a fresher but without the confusion, which is a bonus.

Haha oh right now I'm confused so you're in Telford then? I'm so chuffed it's in the student village
